Pythagoras was a Classical Greek mathemtician.
He gave us the equation.
h^(2) = a^(2)+ b^(2)
To take the 'square root (sqrt) of this equation we write.
sqrt[h^(2)] = sqrt[ a^(2) + b^(2) ]
or
h = sqrt[a^(2) + b^(2)]
Note the use of square brackets to indicate on the RHS that the sum of the squared numbered is square rooted.; NOT the individual numbers.
The Pyrthagorean Eq'n refers to Right-Angles triangles.
'h' is the hypotenuse ; the angle opposite the right angle.
'a' & 'b' are the two sides that make up the right angle.

What is Pythagoras?
It is the longest side in a right-angled triangle. You can find it by squaring and adding together the two shorter sides and when you get the answer, find the square root of the number.
How do work out Pythagoras theorem?
A = Short sideB = medium sideC = Long side(A x A) +(B x B) =(C x C)(2x2) +(5x5)= (5.39x5.39)4+25=29the square root of 29 is 5.39That's the Pythagoras theorem
What does the Pythagoras theorum say?
a2+b2=c2 a,b,and c are sides to a right triangle. c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite from the right angle) so if you had a triangle with the side lengths 3 and 4 and you want to find the hypotenuse, this is how. 32+42=c2 9+16=c2 25=c2 square root(25)=square root(c2) 5=c so 5 would be your answer the Pythagoras theorem is this equation.
What is diagonal of 10 by 8 ft square?
If you mean a rectangle then its diagonal using Pythagoras; theorem is 2 times the square root of 41 or about 12.806 feet rounded to 3 decimal places.
What is the third square root of 0.125?
It is not clearly mentioned that whether it is the "THIRD" root we have to calculate.. or the "SQUARE ROOT THREE TIMES.. i.e the EIGHTth ROOT".. The answer posted here before was not correct in a sense that the if the question demands "third square root" which can also mean the "EIGHTth" root.. Re-edit: It seems rather obvious that this answerer is new to wiki answers and is not in the habit of question interpretation. The question is most likely thus; " What is the cubic root of 0.125. The answer then would be..., cubic root(0.125) = 0.5 ====( calculate the square root three times?!? sounds like a stretched interpretation ) Do you know what square root means? -_- if u know.. then u clearly know what "third square root means" .. huh -_-
Find the diagonal of a square whose are is 36?
First, take the square root, to get the length of a side.

What is the square root of tow?
If you mean the square root of two, then the answer is irrational. However, it is known as Pythagoras' constant. The square root of 2, in geometrical terms, is the diagonal of a square.
What are the Reasons for using a square root?
to find the Pythagoras Theorem
The diagonal of square is 7 square root of 2 what is the perimeter?
28 units (with the help of Pythagoras' theorem)
The diagonal of a square has the length of 10 square root of 2 ft what is the length of the square?
10 ft Because 102+102 = 200 and the square root of this is 10 times the square root of 2 which complies with Pythagoras' theorem.
